Eh, that's really more of a consequence than a defining characteristic. The important part of the hybrid is that the Helmholtz resonator and the pre-MAF chambers are preserved. To do this, you have to use the stock airbox to make it work.

Well lets see, everything before the torque box, easy to understand? Does that work well?

Nope, it's not.

Everything before the torque box would imply getting rid of the Helmholtz resonator, which is exactly the thing a hybrid MUST have. So none of us have any idea what the hell you're on about.

Exactly. SCNEot, when you say "everything before the torque box", you're saying that you want to leave the torque box in place but remove the accordion pipe, MAF housing, airbox, and Helmholtz resonator. The last bit is absolutely the definition of a hybrid intake. So when you asked about removing "everything before the torque box", whatever the hell you were asking about definitely wasn't a hybrid.

Like I said, your ability to use English is fail.

You were asking how something that wasn't a hybrid ran. You were asking how something without a Helmholtz resonator ran. That's all covered in the very first post of the big thread if you have any reading comprehension at all.

Apparently some jimmies have been rustled. Let's revisit the original question.

No.

There's no reason to build such an intake.

Question:
Has a bicycle with three wheels been tested that works well?


Answer:
No, that is called a tricycle.

Argument ensues about definition of bicycle.

I think that's what what's going on here.. as an impartial observer.

I'm out.

It was beautifully constructed, however it was probably the one and only time they've fabricated one. They happened to have my car in the shop for something else, so I asked them to do it while the car was there. Also, they don't have a jig so they would have to borrow a car to make one up and ensure the fit.

My advice would be to see if you can find a local welder to fab one up, or first get a cheap Ebay intake to fit and see if you actually like the intake and it's pros & cons before having a more professional-looking one fabricated.

Okay so I'm going to put a hybrid intake on my 2006 impreza 2.5i and I get everything besides what you do with the 3rd hose?? I know the 2 hoses on the side of the torque box will go the intake piping I'll get off ebay but that 3rd hose that connects in the front of the torque box I'm not sure where that goes because it looks like 2 hoses going into one?? If anyone has pictures with how they installed their hybrid with the 3rd hose, it would help alot. Thanks!

No problem. However, instead of using the hump coupler from the throttle body to the hybrid piping like I did in the article, you may want to refer to the last picture posted by Williaty at the top of this page and use an angled coupler instead. That might provide a better fitment and wouldn't require another cut in the middle of the pipe like I had to do..

Here is the picture.

For reference, I prefer using a hump connector at the MAF housing and half way up the straight section of pipe, then a reducer at throttle body. I find that gives the most stress-free flexing of the intake when the engine torques back and forth on the engine mounts during driving.

I only did mine the way the picture shows because that's what I could find late at night when I was building this thing. I used a free bit of pipe from another intake, the craptastic Spectra reducing coupler (blue) and a bit of a plumbing fitting (black). It's an absolute crap ghetto hack, but it's been driving around fine now for about 4 years. Someday, it'll fall apart and I'll probably also have cancer from that plumbing part getting hot.


ETA: holy crap, that was so long ago I still had rubber strut mounts!

^^ Williaty do you think this will work? It looks like it has 3 "nipples" and I have 3 hoses.. So I think I can order it!
